This chapter is a nightmare that Hermione and Draco always have every night.
Chapter 7: nightmares.
Ever since that day in the platform Hermione was scared and terrified of going to sleep. Every single time; every single night she would always drift off and have the same nightmare. The one that made her remember the time. The time when she lost Draco. The time in which her life changed. :
It's all dark and silent. She stiffs and hears smoke in the air. Lights appear from the endless distance. She hears train sounds coming from the horizon. Stunning lights appear with the chatter of many people. She sees parents and their children in hand. She sees a sign on the side that is the platform for the train of Hogwarts. Laughter and smiles fill the air. Strange things to her that she has not seen in a long time. In among the crowd there is one exception. A man with a cruel smile. Seeming to await something else than a son or s daughter. A smile filled with hate and seeking revenge. Inside her heart she knew what was going too happened.
The train that everyone was awaiting stopped. The Hogwarts express written all over. She tried to scream, but no one seemed to have heard her. The man with the cruel smile makes his move once he saw this blonde boy hand-locked with a brown-hair girl. She tried to run to them, but instead she past through them. STRIKE 1! She could not understand anything. She was ghost. She could not stop anything from happening. It was marked in history. She looks up and it was all black and dark again.
I'm standing on the bridge,
I'm waiting in the dark,
I thought that you'd be here by now.
Darkness now filled the air. Whispering about the dark, she could not see a soul. She was so confused in her misery while one by one tiny rain drops started to fill up the air around her. The roars of the sky concealed the whispers that were once about. The lighting filled up the darkness with the wounds in her heart. Every strike is every minute in her life. Every second; every moment in her life. How she has struggled so far. The man with the cruel smile appears in her head. Circling in her mind. Ruining every happy thought in her head. She feels weak, so weak inside. She is all alone in the dark. Sitting down on the wet cold floor, with no one around her. She is so solitary.
There's nothing but the rain,
No footsteps on the ground,
I'm listening but there's no sound.
She does not feel the wet floor no more. She still in the dark though. It is like a shadow that follows her everywhere. It is fro sure in her mind that sadness would be her only friend. Her only companion in her life. Nothing would change. Strangely light appears and she sees her reflection on a mirror. She only sees herself; nothing else. It is empty behind her. She has nothing. She has no one that would carry her when she is weak. No one to watch her back. It turns dark again symbolizing all her blackouts. It's sad; she knows it at least. She glances up at the mirror and sees a women seating on a couch. Strangely enough it is her with some one else. She wants to go to that thought again in her life. She runs for it, but it is too late. The man with the cruel smile conquered that thought all ready. She has nothing else.
Isn't anyone trying to find me,
Won't somebody take me home,
It's a dawn cold night,
Trying to figure out this life.
She hears the whispering and chattering as before. She wonders where she is. She still can not see. She is blind folded. She smells the same smoke and sees those familiar lights. Light appears and she is again in the beginning. She remembers the man with the cruel smile again. He is moving quickly through the crowd to charge. The train stops again. It is so familiar, but she still can not remember anything. Strangely enough she moves towards the still train without even thinking. It was like an instinct. When she reaches the front she sees this boy and girl. She gets a flashback from the beginning. She remembers the boy and girl very well. The only thing different is that they are not holding hands. In the beginning their hands were hand-locked. STRIKE 2! She screams out loud at the boy, but he does not even blink. The man with the cruel smile appears again. She can not do any thing again. She is so mad. BLACKOUT!
Won't you take me by the hand,
Take me somewhere new,
I don't know who you are but,
I'm with you,
I'm with you.
She circles around the darkness. She does not understand. How does she stop the man with the cruel smile? She does not know who the boy and girl are but she knows they need her help. She feels like if she does not she is going to be hurt. There is still a heavy smoke in her mind. She has never felt this horrible before. Thoughts of her future appear in her head flooding her brain. She does not understand. She just wants to go home. She hates this place that she is in. She pounds on the walls around her, but her hands just go through without making no noise.
I'm looking for a place,
I'm searching for a face,
Is anybody here I know,
Cause nothing's going right,
And everything's a mess,
And no one likes to be alone.
Tears start to fall out of her eyes. She is so scared. She finally puts her head down and just lets all the anger comes out. She SCREAMS! She tumbles all around! She trembles, and she shakes! When she at last lifts her head she is in a different place. It seems so familiar, but she can not seem to remember anything. This strange place is a cozy apartment with a wonderful view. While she is exploring this new place she sees a yellow couch. She is so tired that she falls on the couch. It felt so warm like home. She tired to sleep, but whenever she was closing her eyes she felt like someone was watching her from somewhere. She finally gets fed up and looks around again. In one of the room she saw a television and was curious to check what was on. When she turned it on, nothing appeared. In frustration she put her hands on her head. Where was her home? How could she go home? After a while she decides to check outside the window, but shocking enough the streets were completing empty. She was for sure alone in this world. The only one in miles……
Isn't anyone trying to find me,
Won't somebody take me home,
It's a dawn cold night,
Trying to figure out this life.
In Hermione's empty and confused mind images of a boy overcame her. The boy had gray eyes and blonde hair. It seems so familiar but she still does not remember. All of a sudden this boy appears. The same boy that has been in her mind all this time. She does not recognize him but she had a strange urge to run to him and hug him before he would leave. She tired to fight the urge but she just could not. She closed her eyes for only one second but in that second the boy suddenly disappeared. With shock she tired to look all around for him but she could not find him. With exhaustion she laid back down on the couch. While she was looking all around she saw the boy once more. With the sudden urge to see him closer she stood up fast and ran to him. Just when she was about to reach him he simply faded to dust. Holding up the dust to her face she falls to her feet. She was alone again. She could not even talk no more.
Won't you take me by the hand,
Take me somewhere new,
I don't know who you are but I'm,
I'm with you,
I'm with you.
Her voice was gone but her spirit was not. She lift her head once more and looked forward. To her amazement she finally saw how the places changed to one another. She heard the familiar train sound and smelled the familiar smoke. She stood up and felt that this was going to be the last time she was going to see this place in a long time. As the train sound came closer people started appearing. This time she felt ready to warn the boy. She felt like she had to. She would do anything. The train came closer and closer. She moved up to the front of the crowd. The train finally came to a loud stop. All the kids started to get off the train. She tried to look for the boy or the girl but she did not even get a glimpse of them. She quickly looked around for the man with the cruel smile. She found him fast. He stood out from everyone else. She went back to concentrate to search for the boy or the girl.
At last she sees the boy but……..without……. the GIRL! He appeared with a frown and with tears down his face. There was no sign of the girl at all. She looked away. She could not understand. The girl had to be with him. She looked at the train exit once more and saw the boy but he was looking backwards. She also noticed that the boy was holding something and was walking backwards. She took a deep breathe, it could not be true but it was…….The boy was holding a person. With one look she knew it was the girl. She looked away and saw the man with the cruel smile. He came up to her like he knew she was there. He spoke at loud and said, "You can not change what happen. You will never be in his life." He turned around and took the boy and making him drop the girl. She SCREAMED out loud and went to the girl. She bent down and checked her pause. She…was….not…dead. This was so confusing! Why would the boy be crying? To her surprise the girl stood up and started running to the car but it was too late. The man with the cruel smile took the boy away. The girl started to shake and cry out loud. The weird part was that what ever the girl did, she herself would do. She could not control herself. The only thing she heard last was the oh so familiar laughter of the man with the cruel smile. This was when she finally could not take it no more and fainted and saw for the last time the darkness.
Why is everything so confusing,
May I just be out of my mind,
Yeah...yeah.
Hermione woke up sweating and shaking in her bed. She looked around and was at her apartment. That dream was so strange but was so true. She could never change want happened. She stood up from her bed and went downstairs to drink a glass of water. After that she slowly walked up to her bedroom. Before she finally went back to sleep she whispered to herself, "Draco where are you? I really miss you." The thing Hermione did not know is that somewhere else Draco would too wake up sweating and shaking like her and would say almost the same exact thing.
This chapter is the longest one I have written. Please remember to review. Sorry that I took so long again. Theses lyrics were by Avril Lavigne, "I'm with you."
